PARKDALE IDEA EXCHANGE LOCATION: 1187 QUEEN STREET W. TORONTO, ON COURSE: DESIGN STUDIO IV

The Library “hides” under a skin of concrete panels facing Queen Street, and perforated brick on Sudbury. Most buildings only seem to speak to people through displaying program, which entirely ignores the material properties of the glass it abuses. The Library chooses not to communicate to Queen Street through big openings, but through materiality, structure and light. Exposed columns and beams as well as ornament beams protruding out from the facade indicate the structural grid of the library, reciprocating the understanding between the architecture and observers.

ST. THOMAS CATHEDRAL LOCATION: 409 FRONT ST. E, TORONTO, ON COURSE: DESIGN STUDIO VII

The Novus Ordo church reform has brought forth an ambiguity to the church. The mystery and divinity of God is lost, along with the meaning imbued into the sacred space through the traditional latin mass. Reinstating the traditional, one that focuses on the Eucharist and the covenant made between Catholics and God, is demonstrated on this contemporary ressurection of the pre-Novus Ordo method of design.

Through sacred materials, forms, light, and intentful design gestures, the St. Thomas Cathedral instills the divinity and mystery of the Trinity through modern means of construction and design. A defining feature is the translucent marble that wraps the traditional church within, seemingly solid during the day and glowing during the night.

POTLUCK HOUSE LOCATION: TORONTO, ON THE HOME COMPETITION 2021

TORONTO IS LARGELY COMPOSED OF IMMIGRANTS, OFTEN FOUND IN SOCIO-CULTURALLY AND PHYSICALLY SEGREGATED CLUSTERS IN THE CITY. POTLUCK HOUSE IS A HOUSING TYPOLOGY FOR TORONTO THAT OFFERS A MORE HOLISTIC FORM OF INTEGRATION FOR IMMIGRATED FAMILIES THROUGH THE CELEBRATION OF THEIR DIFFERENCES—FOOD. BEYOND MERE NOURISHMENT, POTLUCK HOUSE REINSTATES THE ROLE OF FOOD AS A VEHICLE FOR DISSOLVING SOCIO-CULTURAL BARRIERS. BEYOND A SENSE OF SIGHT, HEARING, AND TOUCH, IT RE-HIGHLIGHTS THE NEGLECTED IMPORTANCE OF SMELL AND TASTE IN CREATING A PROFOUND SPATIAL EXPERIENCE. POTLUCK HOUSE IS A MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING MODEL IN WHICH SPACES RELATED TO FOOD ARE COMBINED AND SHARED, CONSISTING OF TWO LEVELS OF FIVE RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND ONE DOUBLE-HEIGHT KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM. IN ITS HYPOTHETICAL URBAN CONTEXT OF A CORNER LOT, THE MODULES ARE STACKED IN A TWIST, CREATING TRIANGULAR POCKETS OF OUTDOOR COOKING AND GARDENING SPACES WHICH RE-INTRODUCES THE PRACTICE OF SEASONAL COOKING. THE CORRIDOR SPANNING THE WIDTH OF THE MODULE DIVIDES THE PRIVATE UNITS FROM THE PUBLIC, GRANDIOSE SPACES OF THE KITCHEN AND THE DINING ROOM, RENDERING THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE TWO CEREMONIAL AND MEANINGFUL. BY CELEBRATING DIFFERENCES THROUGH FOOD, POTLUCK HOUSE PROPOSES A MODEL FOR A CANADIAN SOCIETY THAT CREATES HARMONY OUT OF INDIVIDUALITY.
